How is climate change shaping Oxfordshire's Wytham Woods? Spend a day among the trees to find out.
How would you prefer us to contact you?
By EmailBy Phone
Take a day to help Earthwatch scientists as they work to pinpoint the impacts of climate change on forests around the world.
Earthwatch is undertaking a comprehensive forest research program, assessing the impacts of climate change on forests worldwide. In the midst of rich and diverse flora and fauna, you can play an important role in collecting data vital to understanding how natural woodlands are responding to climate change.
You'll learn field techniques essential to capturing accurate data and work closely with scientists and fellow volunteers in the heart of Oxfordshire's ancient woodland.
1+ days - See all dates
This is your chance to be part of the scientific effort to find solutions to pressing environmental problems.
Forests are critically important to life on Earth; you can help protect their future by gathering data today.
Forests are an essential part of the global carbon cycle, storing vast quantities of carbon above and below ground. How they respond to climate and climate change is vital to understanding the role of forests in the future.
Forests and other ecosystems are incredibly complex; the only way to begin to unravel this complexity is by designing effective experiments and carefully collecting as much data as possible. Without the work of thousands of dedicated scientists, we would know nothing about climate change or the ecosystems that it will affect. This is your chance to be part of the scientific effort to find solutions to pressing environmental problems, and to enjoy the beauty and diversity of nature as you work.
Earthwatch is undertaking a comprehensive forest research program.
This team will focus on measuring carbon stocks and fluxes within the woodland, for example, by performing monthly measurements of trees within our sample plots. Earthwatch scientists will place this research in the context of forests globally and also discuss research at Wytham on topics such as mammals, birds, and fungi.
The research site is in Wytham Woods in rural Oxfordshire, England - an estate composed of 775 hectares (1,900 acres) of ancient woodland, secondary woodland, conifer plantations, grassland, rivers, ponds, and farmland. The ancient woodland has been forested since prehistoric times. Wytham Woods has been owned by the University of Oxford since the 1940s and is one of the most researched areas of woodland in the world. More than 3,800 vertebrate and invertebrate animal species (including 800 butterflies and moths) and 600 plant species have been recorded there. Wytham has a wealth of long-term biological data, with bird data dating back for over 60 years, badger data for over 30 years, and climate change data for the last 18 years.
This is a summary:
After an introduction to the research, you'll spend your day working throughout the woods. You'll measure tree growth, survey dead wood, and empty leaf litter traps to help the researchers understand how carbon moves through the forest. You'll also take measurements of the soil, another important part of the carbon cycle. The plots you'll visit are located at varying distances from the forest's edge, which helps the researchers get a better idea of how fragmentation—the interruption of the forest by developed spaces—impacts how carbon cycles through the forest.
Note: Field conditions and research needs can lead to changes in the itinerary and activities. We appreciate your cooperation and understanding.
Collect data vital to understanding how woodlands are responding to climate change.

We'll never succeed in making dirty energy too expensive. Let's make clean energy cheap.
The wave of optimism that American environmentalists rode into 2008 reached its zenith sometime around April 22 -- Earth Day. Green was everywhere, from the pages of Sports Illustrated to NBC's Green Week to a new cable channel, Planet Green. Armed with an Oscar and a Nobel Prize, Al Gore announced a $300 million global-warming advertising campaign. In the Democratic presidential primary, Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton competed over who had the strongest climate and energy record, and John McCain marked his "maverick" status by his intermittent support for legislation to cap carbon emissions.

This morning the New York Times profiled the case of two imprisoned accountants from the Indian office of Pricewaterhouse-Coopers who have been linked to the Satyam scandal. Though they operated as independent auditors for the computer services firm, they have been charged with multiple offenses, including falsification of accounts.
Their imprisonment is nearly unprecedented in the purview of corporate accounting scandals. Hence, some view it as unfair that they must await trial in prison. However, their imprisonment must be seen as part of a system of action that is seeking to preserve investor confidence and limit the collateral damage of Satyam's ruin. It also underscores the importance of accountability by independent auditors. The auditors were responsible for pro-active audit work which they, by their own admission, did not conduct. Indeed, the defense of, "No concerns were ever brought to us by anyone…," which the Satyam Auditors gave in the Times article, rings a bit hollow for me.
In 2007, the audit committee of Satyam, and ultimately the shareholders, paid the auditors $873.9 thousand in audit fees and $1.802 million in total fees including fees for tax and other non-audit services. In 2008, they paid $1.172 million in audit fees and $1.918 in total fees. These fees are paid for the auditor to "audit" actively, not passively. Auditors typically do not wait for concerns to be brought. They investigate independently and to a set of professional standards, and so the imprisoned auditors' claim of innocence by inaction is implausible given the makeup of the assets on Satyam's balance sheet. Consider the assets reported on Satyam's 20-F filed on March 31, 2008:
|As of March 2008
|As of March 2007
|Cash and cash equivalents
|Investments in bank deposits
|Accounts receivable, net allowance for doubtful debts
|Unbilled revenue
|Deferred income tax assets
|Prepaid expenses and other receivables
|Total current assets
|Investments in bank deposits
|Investments in associated companies
|Premises and equipment, net
|Goodwill, net
|Intangible assets, net
|Other assets
|Total assets
Two numbers are important. First, cash (and cash equivalents) and second, investment in bank deposits (short term in 2008, and long term in 2007). These accounts are approximately 52% of the balance sheet in 2007, and approximately 49% of the balance sheet in 2008.
Roughly half of Satyam's balance sheet was either cash (which is typically held by its bank) or a bank deposit (similar to a certificate of deposit that any of us may hold at our local bank). Given the large holding of these assets I find it hard to believe that the auditor could be paid in the ballpark of one million dollars in audit fees and then not proactively investigate the details of half of the balance sheet. It's also hard to believe that they did not look at these accounts given how easy cash and bank deposits are to audit.
Typically one audits cash and deposits by contacting the bank to get a statement with the company's account balance and then compares the statement to the balance sheet. If the two amounts match then the auditor offers an opinion that account has been stated accurately, confirming that the company indeed has the money it claims to have on its balance sheet.
Satyam's auditors claim that they relied on bank statement documents provided by the company, which ultimately turned out to be false statements. This is not a typical practice among auditors in India who instead independently ask the bank to provide statements directly. It is further shocking that Satyam's auditors did not pursue independent verification given the unusually large holdings of cash and deposits on the balance sheet.
The auditors also argued that there were many bank accounts and that made independent verification more difficult. But the number of accounts should have been a tip-off. If you are company like Walmart, with stores covering many locations that do a lot of daily cash business, you need to be banking with many banks and accounts so that each store can get cash to the bank quickly.
In contrast, at a professional business service firm like Satyam, clients pay by check or electronically, and payments are processed in a centralized system and so there is less need for numerous bank accounts. A seasoned accountant with 31 years of experience (which Satyam auditor Mr. S. Gopalakrishnan had) would know this, and should have raised a red flag. They should have taken more initiative.
An audit is part of what an accounting firm calls an "assurance" service, and it is hard to provide assurance if auditors don't occasionally challenge company management and seek independent verification.
Professor Balachandran would like to thank professors Ray Fisman, Andrew Schmidt and Catherine Thomas of the Columbia Business School and Prof. K Ramesh of the Broad School of Business at Michigan State University for their input to this post.

Now Available: DARK AWAKENINGS
Over 300 pages of supernatural horror fiction and academic nonfiction exploring the boundary between religion, horror, and spirituality. Available at Amazon and other online booksellers, plus your local bookstore.
"Life is a horror for which there is neither remedy nor release in the seven metaphysical terror tales that make up the bulk of Cardin's provocative second collection (after Divinations of the Deep)....Cardin's tales are rich with references to Lovecraft, Nietzsche, and other writers whose work gives them unusual philosophic depth. This thinking-man's book of the macabre is capped by three essays, all of which speak eloquently to the supernatural themes of the stories." – Publishers Weekly
NEWS - Updated March 6, 2013
1) Forthcoming book: To Rouse Leviathan
My third full-length book (not counting the ebook A Course in Demonic Creativity, still available for free at Demon Muse) will be published in 2013 by Hippocampus Press. To Rouse Leviathan will be an omnibus collection featuring the complete fiction contents of my first two books plus a section of previously uncollected stories. Here's the table of contents:
DIVINATIONS OF THE DEEP -- "An Abhorrence to All Flesh," "Notes of a Mad Copyist," "The Basement Theatre," "If It Had Eyes," "Judas of the Infinite"
DARK AWAKENINGS -- "Teeth," "The Stars Shine Without Me," "Desert Places," "Blackbrain Dwarf," "Nightmares, Imported and Domestic" (written with Mark McLaughlin), "The Devil and One Lump," "The God of Foulness"
APOCRYPHON -- "Chimeras & Grotesqueries: An Unfinished Fragment of Daemonic Derangement," "Prometheus Possessed," "A Cherished Place at the Center of His Plans" (written with Mark McLaughlin), "The New Pauline Corpus"
A couple of the stories will appear in substantially (drastically) revised and expanded form. Stay tuned for an announcement about a formal publication date. Additionally, this book is likely to be followed in the future by a separate book, also from Hippocampus Press, collecting many of my nonfiction writings on horror, religion, psychology, sleep paralysis, gothic literature, and the like.
2) A mummy encyclopedia
I'm presently editing a book about mummies for academic publisher ABC-CLIO. (Previously, I contributed to their Icons of Horror and the Supernatural: An Encyclopedia of Our Worst Nightmares and Encyclopedia of the Vampire.) The working title is Mummies around the World: An Encyclopedia of Mummies in History, Religion, and Popular Culture. More details will be forthcoming.
3) A story in The Starry Wisdom Library
I'll have a story -- or actually it's an essay of sorts; read on -- in the forthcoming anthology The Starry Wisdom Library that's being edited by rare book expert Nate Pedersen for PS Publishing. Nate's rather brilliant conceit for the project is to frame the book as a facsimile reproduction of the original 1877 "lost" auction catalogue for the library of occult books that Lovecraft described as residing in the abandoned Church of Starry Wisdom in "The Haunter of the Dark." Each "story" is written in the form of a scholarly description of, and essay on, one of these fictitious texts. I wrote about the Daemonolorum, a tome of "nightmare arcana" invented by Robert Bloch for one of his stories. The book will be out in 2013 or 2014 and will feature an introduction by S. T. Joshi. I'm very pleased to be aboard; the list of contributors is an astonishing "who's who" roster of weird horror and Lovecraftian writers.
4) Essay at Dream Studies
Last Halloween my essay "Nexus of Nightmares: Fuseli, Sleep Paralysis, and Horror's Master Image" was published at Dream Studies, dream researcher Ryan Hurd's thoroughly excellent Website about dream science, nightmares, and related altered states of consciousness. The piece describes my long-in-coming recognition about a very famous painting (you know the one) and the way it has come to serve as a transformative nexus of dark meanings enfolding a vast span of unsettling subjects. Readers of my Liminalities column at The Teeming Brain will find the article an extension of some of its major themes. Likewise for readers of my horror fiction.
5) New column for [Nameless] Magazine
Last December I became a columnist for Nameless, the "Biannual Journal of the Macabre, Esoteric and Intellectual" edited by Jason V. Brock and S. T. Joshi. The column is titled Numinosities, and the first installment is titled "Things That Should Not Be: The Uncanny Convergence of Religion and Horror," with a focus on the perennial entanglement of religion with horror in such a way that each automatically implies and entails the other.
6) New interviews
Last September, my friend and fellow horror author T. E. Grau interviewed me for his blog, The Cosmicomicon, and the conversation ended up turning into the single most detailed examination of my life, influences, writing, and philosophical-spiritual reflections that I've yet given during the past several years of granting occasional interviews. I talked about horror, religion, Lovecraft, sleep paralysis, fantasy, science fiction, consciousness, creativity, reality, the dystopian hazards of an uber-online lifestyle, and more.
Three weeks later I was the featured guest on the October 14 edition of the Expanding Mind radio show, which is devoted to exploring "the cultures of consciousness." I've been a fan of the show for some time, and have long enjoyed host Erik Davis's writings on culture, technology, gnosis, horror, science fiction, and related subjects. My hour-long conversation with him and his cohost Maja D'Aoust delved into the deep psychological, philosophical, and spiritual underpinnings of the dark side of religious experience and explored the implications of the fact that this aspect of religion, which is so foreign to modern, mainstream Western ideas about religion's nature and function, actually stands at the very center of what it has always been about for people around the world and throughout history. The episode is titled "Daemonic Creativity," indicating another subject that we explored at some length.

The "Silver State" Legislature, (on the cutting edge of social change as usual), is considering several bills designed to overhaul the medical marijuana issue, ranging from some relaxation on the amount allowed in possession of patients, to providing for some licensed distribution system similar to the system currently being used in California, next door. The current law is absurd on its face, and needs total overhaul, but it is unlikely that such major changes will come out of our foreshortened session. What is probably going to happen, however, is the licensing of "dispensaries" by local county and city governments, with fees and taxes to be set and retained by the county commissioners. With the budget shortfall and cuts being prepared for most state programs, the need to give rural counties in particular a new revenue stream to compensate for reduced hand downs from Carson City.
The details of who grows and markets the medicinal herb and the ambience of the sales points will prove interesting as will the increased numbers of suffering citizens once the empty storefront across from the Yerington Courthouse becomes a hangout for the stricken and overstressed.
But seriously folks, the overall legalization of pot and the marketing thereof is likely to be a major economic trend in the coming decade. Our grandchildren will look back on the ban on this innocent herb as a silly mistake similar to Prohibition in the early years of the last century. But that is then, this is now, and Nevada might consider following its historic precedent in allowing forbidden pleasures as an incentive to our tourism economic base. For half a century we made a nice handle off quickie marriages and divorces, with divorcees filling the motels and "ranches" for their residency time, and justices of the peace living high on the hog of marital marketing.
The same can be said of whoring. The legal brothels of our rural counties, now nationally famous through the magic of reality television and unabashed promotional skills of Dennis Hoff, the king of the Moundhouse red light neighborhood, are certainly a cash cow for Lyon County. Nevada at large and locally, has benefited from the oldest profession, why not recreational drugs?
It might even prove workable to license the brothels as dispensaries for pot. The employees are already thoroughly screened for good character and clean records, and a smoking lounge adjacent to the saloon might just stimulate both businesses. It certainly worked that way 50 years ago.

Bushrangers in charge after Wayamba collapse
The Wayamba Elevens lost 8 wickets in the spell of just 41 deliveries to hand the advantage to the Victorian Bushrangers after being bowled out for just 106.
The Sri Lankans collapsed from 81-2 losing their final 8 wickets adding just 25 runs with Mahela Jayawardene (51) Jehan Mubarak (44) scoring all but 5 of their teams runs.
Having lost the toss the Bushrangers came out firing with the ball; taking two early wickets to leave Wayamba 9-2 after Jeevantha Kulatunga (0) and Mahela Udawatte (0) had both departed inside the first 2 overs.
Kulatunga was the first to go after he was bowled by James Pattinson before Clint McKay doubled the Bushrangers advantage two deliveries later when he ran out Udawatte with a direct hit from mid-on.
With their faint hopes of reaching the knock out stages hanging by a thread Wayamba skipper Mubarak came to the crease to join Jayawardene with his team deep in trouble.
Despite the precarious position; Jayawardene threw caution to the wind dispatching Peter Siddle for three boundaries in the 4th over to get Wayambas recovery under way.
Having both disappointed with the bat so far in the tournament Jayawardene and Mubarak played an encouraging innings; building a 2nd wicket partnership of 72 to put the pressure on the Bushrangers.
The pair peppered the boundary with 10 fours during a 52 ball partnership which was ended by Andrew McDonald at the start of the 11th over after Mubarak tamely chiped the ball to David Hussey at short extra cover.
Kushal Janith Perera (2) quickly followed after he was caught by Hussey, this time off the bowling of Pattinson to leave Wayamba 90-4 with just over 8 overs remaining.
After the positive response by Jayawardene and Mubarak to losing the early wickets; Wayamba lost their way completely with Shalika Karunanayake (0), Thisara Perera (0) and Isuru Udana (0) all departing in the space of 4 deliveries to leave the Sri Lankans 95-7.
Having watched on as 5 wickets fell in the space of 22 deliveries Jayawardene completed a well deserved half century at the start of the 16th over with a boundary through point before his off stump was knocked out of the ground by Peter Siddles next delivery.
The 25 year old completed his spell by dismissing Rangana Herath (2) to leave Wayamba 106-9 after Herath became his 4th victim of the night to complete a career best spell of 4-29.
Dirk Nannes completed the slump by removing Ajantha Mendis (1) 3 deliveries later to leave the Bushrangers chasing a total of just 107.

It's hard to imagine Amanda Stang, a petite young woman standing right at 5-feet tall, commanding a yard full of Level 4 maximum security inmates, but that's exactly what she's doing as the newest recreation therapist at California State Prison-Sacramento (CSP-Sac) in Folsom, Cal.
Stang, a 2008 Ozarks graduate, specializes in music therapy, using musical intervention techniques to help inmates with mental health disorders.
"CSP-Sac is just up the road from the iconic Old Folsom Prison where Johnny Cash performed and recorded his famous live 'At Folsom Prison' album." Stang said. "That facility is a lower, minimum-medium security prison, whereas CSP-Sac is a Level 4 maximum security prison. This facility is home to a majority of the state's mental health inmates. The inmates with whom I work are all diagnosed with some type of mental health disorder, such as schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, or depression."
Originally from Albuquerque, N.M, Stang graduated from Ozarks with a degree in music and a minor in psychology before going on to earn a master's degree in music therapy from University of the Pacific in Stockton, Cal.
"I was first introduced to music therapy by Dr. David DeSeguirant, who was the choir director and music professor at U of O my freshman year," Stang said. "I was interviewing him as a source for a paper about music education, and he mentioned an interest in music therapy. I had never heard of music therapy and immediately began questioning him further. After becoming more acquainted with music therapy as a profession, I knew exactly what it was I wanted to do with my life."
According to Stang, music therapy is an incredibly gratifying career choice.
"Watching the results of music therapy interventions I've designed and implemented actually benefit my clients is an indescribable feeling," she said. "I've been lucky enough to receive help with accomplishing my own life goals and knowing that I get to pay that forward by helping others achieve their goals in development, communication, cognitive processing, motor functioning, and many other areas of functioning is all I could ever want. Knowing that I may have helped at least one person each day at work is the most rewarding experience I've ever had."
Stang's duties at CSP-Sac include facilitating groups focused on leisure activities, lyric analysis, spirituality, coping skills, and music theory and application.
"The types of goals we work on through therapy tend to be focused on impulse control, anger management, coping skills, expressive and receptive communication, interpersonal skills, reality orientation, relaxation skills, and cognitive processing," Stang explained. "My day starts with a one-hour morning group held on the yard. Yes, the actual yard. We bring out guitars, sports equipment, and magazines. The inmates can participate as they choose. This is a very loosely structured group and meant to provide the inmates with some leisure activity as well as relaxation."
Stang also works with different levels of inmates.
"The groups range from Extended Outpatient Program inmates, who have mental health disorders but are well-behaved, to Administrative Segregation, or Ad-Seg, inmates who have gotten in trouble while in prison and are awaiting verdicts in the jail within the prison. There are also solitary confinement, or PSU inmates, who have been found guilty of a committing a crime within prison and are now housed in the prison within the prison," Stang said. "The Ad-Seg and PSU groups are interesting because each inmate is confined to a therapeutic module, an individual metal cage about the size of a telephone booth, and must participate in the group through limited means."
Stang admits to a certain amount of nervousness when she accepted a position in such a secure facility, but she put aside those fears in order to help those who most needed her skills.
"I have experience working with a forensic population in a state hospital, a psychiatric hospital in San Antonio, so I already had an understanding of what it's like to work in a locked down facility," she said. "However, the prison setting takes that locked down procedure to a much more intense level. Walking into the prison is always a daunting experience, but I feel very comfortable and confident that my fellow recreation therapists, as well as the guards, will protect me should any type of violent or dangerous situation take place."
Stang also understands that her expertise is needed in this population.
"I'm highly interested in working with the mental health population. More specifically, I am interested in working with patients with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and traumatic brain injury (TBI), as well as other neurologic disorders. I am most interested in working with veterans. However, prisoners also often suffer from these disorders, and I can gain excellent experience working with this population," she explained.
In no uncertain terms, Stang credits Ozarks with her success both during and after her undergraduate work.
"Ozarks prepared me for working hard and maintaining a healthy balance of confidence and humility," Stang said. "I wouldn't be where I am without University of the Ozarks. I couldn't be happier with the direction my life has taken and the career choice I made. I worked extremely hard throughout my college years, but I also received an enormous amount of help from others. My ultimate goal has always been to give back all that Ozarks gave to me. I'm so thankful to all my professors and various other staff who pushed me. Without them, my dreams would never even have been realized, much less accomplished. Ozarks will always hold an important place in my heart."

This class is designed to teach you more than just factual knowledge about body parts, but rather a functional appreciation of how and why the body systems are integrated as they are. In addition, topics such as the neuroanatomy of consciousness, sexuality, and emotion (not offered in other anatomy courses in the state) are considered. Classes involve an effective combination of teaching methods (from Powerpoint to painting, dance to drama...) that maximize interest and real-world learning.
Class sessions will be held each Thursday evening from 7pm – 9:30pm.

Children's eyesight test book, London, England, 1979
This book is devised for children. It is a form of visual acuity test. This means it tests the ability to discern letters of different sizes. The test tells the optician what standard of eyesight the child has. It can diagnose eye problems early in childhood. Many common conditions can be easily rectified at this point. The book is based on the classic Peter Rabbit story by Beatrix Potter. The text is written in blocks of decreasing size. The child reads until they can no longer see the text. This is like a visit to the optician when we read off a chart at a distance.

Hi: 13° Lo:7°
By Beth Sharp Thursday 19 December 2013 Updated: 23/12 17:10
BROMSGROVE residents will not see any changes to the town's car parking in the near future, it has been decided.
The district council's Parking Review December 2013 was discussed at Monday's (December 16) Overview and Scrutiny meeting.
Members decided to take no further action at this time as they deemed the negative impact of a price slash would outweigh any benefits. They decided to review it again at a later date.
The review examined the town's on and off-road parking and compared it with other districts. It also looked at the impact of future developments.
The council offers two payment methods in its 11 charging car parks - pay on foot or pay and display.
While pay and display ticket sales in Bromsgrove had risen from 11,000 to 35,000-a-month since the council's last price drop three-years-ago, there had also been a decrease in income of between £250,000 and £500,000.
The total income from parking, last year, was just over £1million, which made up a large portion of the council's budget, meaning reduced tickets could affect the authority's spending power. That, members said, could mean finding funding from elsewhere, such as a council tax increase.
Coun Chris Bloore suggested the committee investigated the possiblilty of cutting evening and Sunday parking costs, but his motion was rejected.
Mary Rowland, secretary for Bromsgrove Forum of Older People, said: "It was a very disappointing decision.
"It seems sad they can't consider any other option other than to continuing doing nothing."
Coun Michael Webb, responsible for environmental services, said it was not the right time to review parking.
"The report showed parking rates in the town are comparable to equivalent places and while times continue to be hard, Bromsgrove's traders are weathering the storm better than many."
He pointed out the vacancy rates of town centre shops were far better than the West Midlands' and national averages.
"When you add to this that car parks at Hanover Street, Market Street, Stourbridge Road and Recreation Road may all shortly undergo varying degrees of redevelopment, it becomes increasingly clear now is not the time to make changes."
He concluded by saying he understood the concerns over costs, but said prices had been frozen, pay on foot had eliminated late fines and a fairer enforcement regime had seen parking fines and complaints 'plummet'.
Anyone wanting to have their say on parking should contact their councillor or the parking service on 01386 565009.

"Material Culture of the North Wellesley Islands" is a published monograph which was produced over a period of 30 years.
Written by Professor Paul Memmott, the monograph provides an ethnographic description of the material culture traditionally employed by the Aboriginal people of the North Wellesley Islands. These islands are located in the southern Gulf of Carpentaria and are occupied by two Indigenous groups – the Lardil and the Yangkaal. A third group, the Kaiadilt, occupy the South Wellesley Islands and a fourth group, the Ganggalida are on the adjacent mainland. This paper focuses on the Lardil who are the traditional owners for Mornington Island or Gununa (which is by far the largest of the islands), as well as Sydney Island (Langunganji) and Wallaby Island (Lingunganji).
Thanks to the Australian Museum, The South Australian Museum, Queensland Museum and The University of Queensland Anthropology Museum for access to collections and archives.Thanks also to these museums and New Holland Publishers for kind permission to reproduce photographs, to The Queensland Herbarium for plant identifications and the Fryer Library (The University of Queensland) for permission to reproduce the N.F. Nelson photographs.

49ers vs. Patriots: Thumbs up and thumbs down
Kap got the better of Brady to walk off a winner
Craig Massei
NinersDigest.com publisher
Posted Dec 16, 2012
Which way does the thumb turn for the 49ers after their classic 41-34 victory over New England on Sunday night, including the Kap to Crab connection, LaMichael James answering back, a defensive collapse followed by a defensive finish, Frank Gore's clean-up TD, Randy Moss going deep, big plays in the secondary, Ted Ginn muffing punts, ending awesome New England streaks and much more? Check inside.
Thumbs up:
After dominating the NFL's top-ranked offense for more than a half, then completely falling apart for more than a quarter, the Niners' mean and determined defense came through when it counted most – even with All-Pro tackle
Justin Smith
on the bench nursing an injured elbow – stopping New England on two late fourth-quarter offensive possessions after the Patriots had scored touchdowns on each of their four possessions before that.
Thumbs down:
But the Patriots are never out of it, and somebody should have told the 49ers that when they were cruising with a lopsided 31-3 lead early in the third quarter.
Thumbs up:
Talk about answering back. After the Patriots score touchdowns on four consecutive drives to erase a 28-point 49ers lead,
LaMichael James
takes the ensuing at his own goal line and scoots and weaves down the left side for a 62-yard return to set up the Niners in New England territory.
Thumbs up:
And on the very next play,
Colin Kaepernick
gets the ball to
Michael Crabtree
in the face of a blitz, and Crabtree sidesteps a defender and bolts 38 yards for the winning touchdown.
Thumbs up:
That was the second time Kaepernick and Crabtree burned the New England defense after a momentous play by their teammates. After San Francisco's second interception, Kaepernick dropped back on the next play and let sail a perfect rope spiral down the middle that Crabtree went up and got between two defenders at the goal line, showing toughness while splitting New England's safeties to put the Niners ahead 31-3 with 10:21 still remaining in the third quarter.
Thumbs up:
And this is why Kaepernick is now entrenched as San Francisco's starting quarterback. On the biggest of stages, with the Niners an underdog and needing a victory for so many reasons, Kap outplayed the great
Tom Brady
, and in the end that's why the 49ers won.
Thumbs up:
Kaepernick finished with four touchdown passes, burning the Patriots deep as he averaged 15.4 yards per completion with all of his touchdown throws coming from 24 yards out or beyond. Cool Kap never wavered with the game on the line, finishing with a 107.7 passer rating that far outshined Brady's pedestrian 68.9 rating and one touchdown pass.
Thumbs up:
Kaepernick to Crabtree on the right side for 11 yards. Kaepernick to Crabtree on the left side for 13 yards. The Niners came out passing on their first two offensive plays, and that was a pretty good way to jump-start their attack.
Thumbs up:
The Kap to Crab connection was a good way for the 49ers to finish off the Pats, too, with Crabs accounting for half of San Francisco's completions while leading the Niners with seven receptions for 107 yards.
Thumbs up:
With the Patriots needing just a yard to convert on the game's first third down,
NaVorro Bowman
blows through the New England to stop
Stevan Ridley
for a two-yard loss to show the Patriots what kind of night it was going to be for their offense. Or, at least, how it was going to be until the Pats finally came alive in the third quarter.
Thumbs up:
Kaepernick also had it going on with
Randy Moss
, who went up in the air for a two-handed grab and took a big sandwich hit from linebacker Dont'a Hightower and safety
Aqib Talib
but held onto the ball for a 12-yard gain as the 49ers picked up first downs on their first three offensive plays.
Thumbs up:
And then two plays later, with the Niners facing their first third down, it was vintage Randy Moss, as the 14th-year veteran blew past rookie cornerback
Alfonzo Dennard
on a one-cut post pattern, and Kaepernick finds him streaking free in the end zone for a 24-yard touchdown pass as safety
Devin McCourty
can't get over in time as the Niners draw first blood on their first offensive series.
Thumbs down:
David Akers
going wide left on a 39-yard field-goal attempt late in the first quarter when the 49ers are blowing opportunity after opportunity to put points on the board? Can the Niners count on their All-Pro kicker at all anymore? That miss dropped Akers' percentage of missed field goals below 70 percent for the season.
Thumbs up:
It was risky, but you have to appreciate the gumption of the Niners to try and catch the Patriots off guard with a fake punt on fourth-and-10 from their own 41-yard line late in the first quarter. Fool the Patriots San Francisco did, as up-back
Dashon Goldson
took a direct snap and motored around the left edge for a 31-yard gain into New England territory.
Thumbs up:
Carlos Rogers
delivered the first blow in his game-within-a-game with prolific slot receiver
Wes Welker
, running stride for stride with Welker on the first play of New England's third offensive drive as Brady tried to hit Welker long. Instead, Rogers made an over-the-shoulder interception, then wiggled and waggled and danced and pranced down the field for a 53-yard return to the New England 5-yard line.
Thumbs down:
But two plays later, the Niners blew another golden opportunity for points as
Delanie Walker
fumbled after catching a ball in the right flat, giving the ball back to the Patriots and giving the Niners nothing to show for Rogers' momentous takeaway.
Thumbs up:
But Walker made up for it late in the second quarter, reeling in a 34-yard strike from Kaepernick for the touchdown that allowed the 49ers to start pulling away after their early missed opportunities, the first of a run of 24 consecutive San Francisco points.
Thumbs down:
Three fumbled snaps by Kaepernick in the first half helped slow down the 49ers from taking over the game, particularly when Kap once again couldn't handle the exchange on a fourth-and-1 opportunity at the New England 25, leaving the 49ers without points again after driving deep into Pats territory.
Thumbs up:
Kaepernick's fourth fumbled snap while under center came on a first-and-goal from the 3 early in the third quarter, but
Frank Gore
was there to clean it up, picking up the ball at the 9, taking one step right, then cutting back to his left and bursting up the middle to paydirt for a 9-yard fumble recovery that gave the Niners a three-touchdown lead.
Thumbs up:
Goldson and Whitner, San Francisco's big-hitting safeties, both struck fear into Patriots receivers with some heavy collisions over the middle, and Whitner showed textbook form when he put his helmet on the ball while tackling running back Stevan Ridley in the third quarter, forcing a fumble that Goldson caught in the air and returned 66 yards to set up Gore's fumblerooski TD return on the next play.
Thumbs up:
The 49ers forced four New England turnovers in all, matching the number of giveaways the Patriots had in their previous six home games this season.
Thumbs down:
Ted Ginn got bailed out after a long and confusing replay challenge, but Ginn has got to be more decisive when fielding punts that he allows to bounce in front of him. Ginn let a bouncing punt to come oh-so-close to grazing off his leg and being recovered by the Patriots, bringing up horrible memories of
Kyle Williams
' gaffe against the Giants in last season's NFC Championship Game. Ginn muffed another punt late in the fourth quarter that almost proved disastrous before he was able to land on the ball after he got a gratuitous bounce.
Thumbs up:
The long arms and big hands of
Aldon Smith
collected the first interception of his career with a heads up play in the third quarter, when Smith plucked a ball out of the air that had been tipped by a teammate and took it back to the New England 27, leading to yet another 49ers touchdown.
Thumbs down:
The third TD in the Patriots run of 28 unanswered points was set up by a 38-yard interference penalty on
Tarell Brown
, who has to know better than to get his legs tangled up with Brandon Lloyd when an uncatchable ball is sailing over the head of both receiver and defender. That set up the Pats with a first-and-goal, and they scored on the next play to come within 31-24 with 12:13 left in the game.
Thumbs up:
But all's well that ends well, and after the Pats had come all the way back to tie the game 31-31, the Niners stifled the New England offense in a wild final six minutes, with San Francisco's dynamic duo of middle linebackers,
Patrick Willis
and NaVorro Bowman, making plays like they had been most of the night. The terrific twosome had 11 tackles each to lead the Niners.
Thumbs up:
And with the San Francisco defense gassed as the Patriots came to the tail end of their incredible 92 offensive plays on the evening,
Ray McDonald
and Ricky
Jean Francois
– playing in place of injured Justin Smith – both came up with big sacks during the Pats' last-gasp drives, with McDonald dumping Brady after his helmet had been ripped off his head by a New England lineman. It was the first sack of the season for Francois and just the second of his five-year career.
Thumbs up:
And now the Niners are back in the playoffs, clinching a playoff berth for the second consecutive year, giving San Francisco back-to-back playoff berths and 10-win seasons for the first time since 2001-2002.
Thumbs up:
And they did it by ending a lot of awesome streaks by the Patriots, who saw their 20-game home winning streak in December games ended along with their 21-game streak of victories in the second half of seasons over the past three years, not to mention the seven-game winning streak the Pats brought into the game.

First, it is a great film, not just a great batman movie. Others have compared Christopher Nolans two batman movies to Tim Burton Batman, I will not repeat his comments. Let me tell you everything about this movie, from script to casting the CGI quality and, finally, the staging is superb.
Christopher Nolan has a vision. And whether you agree with him or not, certainly true in The Dark Knight; - a vicious circle, exciting, overwhelming, intelligent event-film that redefines the comic-book-movies. Nolan description in dark, gloomy Gotham City (where the crime hell realm protected by legendary superhero Batman), the director tries to make everything real (which he started in the well-received batmanBegins). It is plausible, possible. And yet, it is more than that is just beginning; was a dissection of myth, the nature of symbols and heroes; Knight of the escalation of that idea. It is a confrontation of the Bible;Good and evil; but good and evilreally exist: a conflict of ideals, something that can not be strictly defined, but is at a point of view. Worldwide Nolan, the line of villainy and heroism is not crossed ... is nonexistent.

Everyone makes predictions at this time of the year.
Peyton Manning, after a huge first game that will send thousands of fantasy owners to the waiver wire on Tuesday morning in search of Julius Thomas, is a slam-dunk pick as NFL MVP.
The Seahawks will be great, the Ravens will be down, the Chiefs will be vastly improved, the Jaguars and Raiders will be lucky to combine for five wins — we've heard it all.Well, until now, you haven't read my 2013 NFL predictions.Like Buster Skrine waiting until the last second on a long pass before committing a penalty, I prefer to let the drama build.Without further delay and with extreme anticipation, here we go:
The Browns, to avoid another double-digit loss season, might need to start 4-2.The early schedule is favorable — Miami at home, at Baltimore and at Minnesota, followed by consecutive home games against Cincinnati, Buffalo and Detroit.If the Browns finish that stretch 3-3 or worse, it could get ugly — fast.In Weeks 7-9, they play games at Green Bay and at Kansas City, then host the Ravens.After a bye in Week 10, the slate gets even more difficult — at Cincy, home against Pittsburgh and Jacksonville, at New England, home against Chicago, then back-to-back road games against the Jets and Steelers to finish the year.That's a 10-game stretch in which it would be impressive if they won four or five games.Our guess: They start 3-3 — with losses at Baltimore, at Minnesota and home against the Bengals — and lose seven of their final 10 contests to reach double digits in defeats for the 12th time since 1999.
Nick Swisher's first season with the Indians mostly has been a bust.The outfielder/first baseman, who signed a four-year, $56 million contract in the offseason, is batting .237 with a .726 OPS. Since Aug. 1, he is hitting .208 with more strikeouts (30) than hits (26) in 125 at-bats.But he is always excited, and he knows how to give back.Friday morning, the Indians announced that a fireworks display has been added to the schedule — and Swisher is picking up the tab.Following the Tribe's 6:05 p.m. game on Saturday, Sept. 21 against Houston, there will be fireworks set to music with Ohio and Cleveland themes, all selected by Swisher."It's been an exciting season and I hope fans have had as much fun at the ballpark as I have," Swisher said in a press release. "I definitely appreciate the fans' support, and to thank them, I'm giving them one last fireworks show during the Tribe's Fan Appreciation Weekend!"The exclamation point at the end of the quote released by the Tribe was very Swisher-like.As is the lineup of songs for the Sept. 21 fireworks show. Swisher's selection includes the following songs:

Maison la Belle Vie Palisade Vineyard & Winery
A favorite saying of owner John Barbier is, "Life is to short for cheap wine!" John grew up in the Loire Valley in France, where his family had been making wine for the past 150 years. His 4.5 acre vineyard, Maison La Belle Vie (French for "House of Beautiful Life") was planted 8 years ago. The first vintages from the estate winery, were introduced in 2006 and included Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah, Rosé and Muscat; a dessert wine that is traditional in the Loire Valley in France. Maison la Belle Vie has now added 3 Reserve wines, a Merlot, Syrah and Petit Verdot all aged for 4 years as well as the famous Vin de Peche; a Muscat, fortified with peaches - a recipe from John's family that has been handed down through the generations since the late 1800's. A new addition is a hand crafted walnut liquor that is simply delicious.
Under the direction of John Barbier, Maison la Belle Vie has learned how to grow the best fruit, which makes for the best wine. Mr. Barbier's experience and expertise in winemaking and as well as intimate knowledge of the arid high-desert region of western Colorado has helped in Barbier's transition from growing fruit in France, to Colorado. The age-old practice of "dry-farming" is still used today in our vineyard allowing us to achieve maximum results by adding to the complexity and flavor of the fruit.
We respect our vineyard and those who supply us grapes. We strive for a minimalist approach with our wine so the content of the bottle will always reflect an unmanipulated purity for the grape to shine.
Picnic snacks available at the winery: Packages of cold cured meat (like proccuitto & salami) as well as a large variety of cheese. We also carry savory cheese cakes and desert cheese cakes — all served with French bread or assorted crackers.
Please drink with moderation and only quality wine. Wine will keep you healthy.

A long filament erupted on the sun on Aug. 31, 2012. The filament of solar material had been hovering in the sun's atmosphere, or corona, and erupted into space, creating a coronal mass ejection, or CME. The flare traveled at an astonishing 900 miles per second, and connected with Earth's magnetic environment, causing aurora to appear on the night of Sept. 3.

Located 650 light years from Earth, the Helix nebula is the cosmic remains of a dying star. In this combined image released Oct. 3 from NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope and the Galaxy Evolution Explorer, the star's dusty outer layers glow from ultraviolet radiation being pumped out by its stellar core.

On Aug. 27, NASA released a high-resolution shot of the dark dunes and layered rock at the base of Mars' Mount Sharp, Curiosity's eventual destination. The image, which was taken on Aug. 23, looks south-southwest from the rover's landing site. The top ridge of the distant mountain is about 10 miles from the rover.

This cosmic skyrocket is actually a geyser of hot gas from a newborn star that splashes against and ricochets off a cloud core composed of molecular hydrogen. Known as Herbig-Haro 110 and spotted in the constellation Orion, the geyser is located some 1,300 light years from Earth. Hubble Space Telescope captured the image and NASA released it July 3.
ALMA (ESO/NAOJ/NRAO)16 of 30
This photo of a dying red giant star depicted an unexpected spiral structure around its center. Astronomers surmise that this might be what Earth's sun looks like at the end of its life. These spirals had never been seen by astronomers before and are believed to have been caused by a hidden companion star orbiting the red giant.

This composite image of M101 (also known as the Pinwheel Galaxy) combines data from four of NASA's space-based telescopes. X-rays from Chandra (purple) reveal the hottest and most energetic areas due to exploded stars, superheated gas, and material falling toward black holes. Infrared data from Spitzer (red) shows dusty lanes in the galaxy where stars are forming, while Hubble data (yellow) traces the light from stars. Ultraviolet emission detected by GALEX (blue) shows emission from young stars.

This stunning view of Earth reveals the planet at night in unprecedented detail, earning it the nickname, "Black Marble." Released by NASA Dec. 5, it was assembled from multiple shots taken by the Suomi NPP satellite during April and October 2012. The new data was mapped over existing Blue Marble imagery of Earth to provide a realistic view of the planet.
NASA/JPL-Caltech/UCLA21 of 30
NASA's Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE) mission recently discovered thousands of newfound supermassive blackholes and galaxies -- called Hot DOGs. These dust-obscured galaxies are twice as hot as similar objects and among the most luminous, brightest galaxies known. Some emit 1,000 times more energy than the Milky Way. On Aug. 29, NASA released images from the telescope, marking the new Hot DOGs with magenta symbols.
ESA/NASA22 of 30
NASA's Hubble Telescope captured this image of Eta Carinae, a binary star system. In 1843, Eta Carinae was the second-brightest star in the night sky, but by the 20th century, it was invisible to the naked eye. Eta Carinae happens to be one of the closest stars to Earth that is likely to explode in a supernova in the relatively near future (though in astronomical timeframes, the "near future" could still be a million years away).
ESA/NASA24 of 30
On July 2, Hubble Space Telescope posted this portrait of dying star Camelopardalis (U Cam for short) as it released a spherical shell of gas. U Cam is becoming increasingly unstable, and every few thousand years the red giant's core fuses and it expels stellar material in these eruptions. Although the star itself is small enough to fit into a single pixel of the photo, its brightness makes it appear much larger than it is.

Mammoth Tarantula Nebula is an interstellar cloud made up of helium, hydrogen, dust and gases. According to NASA, it's "one of the largest star-forming regions located close to the Milky Way." It got the name because its filaments were thought to look like spindly spider legs. NASA released the image in April of this year.
ESO/VVV Consortium27 of 30
This incredible image of the central parts of the Milky Way was created by combining thousands of individual images from ESO's VISTA survey telescope into a single monumental mosaic. The image depicts a much larger number of individual stars in the central parts of the Milky Way than was previously able to be seen because VISTA's camera is sensitive to infrared light and can see through much of the dust that blocks the view for optical telescopes.

Astronomers discovered a "super-Jupiter" (seen in the upper left of this image) around the bright star Kappa Andromedae. Designated Kappa Andromedae b, the new object has a mass about 12.8 times greater than Jupiter's. This places it on the dividing line that separates the most massive planets from the lowest-mass brown dwarfs.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Gary Waters couldn't be happier about his new grass. It's progress, something he's been waiting to have for five years.
Gary's problem on Bramble Place began in 2007 when the City of Charlotte began paving and repaving Bramble Place. The layers of road piled up so high, they began to overshoot the gutters, which were supposed to collect the rain water and channel it to the storm drain.
Because Waters' driveway sits at the lowest point on the cul-de-sac, the water gushed right down his driveway and took most of it to a nearby creek.
Over the years, Waters has documented the torrents of water that flowed down his driveway every time Mother Nature doled out a good gully washer.
"On a good rain, we can get three to four inches of water coming down here, no kidding--whitecaps, it just rolls down there," Waters said.
Waters would replace the washed out driveway with rock and shell, but the next good rain, washed that away, too.
Two weeks ago the City of Charlotte fixed the gutters by raising them and will soon mill down the street to make it lower. But first on the list of jobs will be replacing Waters' driveway.
A city engineer said they are just working out the details and the timing of getting it done.
"I'm just terribly appreciative of what WCNC has done to help resolve this issue," Waters added.

Is it better to get lost in a crowd or be alone in a wilderness?
That's the question facing South Florida cities — and voters — after the latest lousy turnout for local elections.
Fourteen municipalities in Palm Beach County held elections on Tuesday, and the turnout was 10.86 percent. Eight of every nine voters who were eligible to cast ballots didn't.
For the sake of democracy and consistency, I say crowded November elections — with one-stop voting for federal, state and local races — is preferable.
The alternative that keeps playing out with these below-the-radar March elections is simply too depressing.
"We're going backward, not forward," Palm Beach County Elections Supervisor Susan Bucher fretted on Wednesday. "I don't know what to say."
I don't know what you can say, other than at least Palm Beach County voters weren't as apathetic as their Broward counterparts (8.14 percent turnout Tuesday).
Of 275,029 Palm Beach County voters who could have gone to the polls on Tuesday, only 29,869 bothered. Bucher said turnout for the March 2012 municipal elections was only slightly better, around 11 percent.
Unlike the general election last November, there were no five-hour lines on Tuesday. No six-page double-sided ballots. No excuses.
Just a sad reflection on where things stand when it comes to elections that hit closest to home.
"All politics is local," late U.S. House Speaker Tip O'Neill once said.
But in transient South Florida, appallingly few voters turn up for local elections. Either they don't know about them, or don't care.
"We need to do a better job of working with city clerks about getting the word out," Bucher said.
Los Angeles held a mayor's race last week that drew 21 percent turnout, and you should have heard the wailing from bloggers, columnists and editorial boards in Southern California. We'd consider 21 percent a voter tsunami.
All of which begs a question: Why do Palm Beach County municipalities keep sticking with March elections? Unless the goal is to make voting a privileged exercise in elitism?
In Broward, nearly half the county's 31 cities have gone to November elections in the past decade, piggybacking onto ballots with federal and state elections.
But in Palm Beach County, only one municipality among 38 moved to a November date: Lake Worth.
And on Tuesday, Lake Worth voters decided to switch back to March. Well, 1,333 of the 2,264 who turned out to decide the issue. And there's a brain teaser: If Lake Worth has November elections, how come it held a March election to switch back to March?
"It was considered a special election," Bucher said.
It means every local election in Palm Beach County will be held in February and March. Many local politicians like the winter dates because it's easier on them. Fewer voters mean they can keep power by targeting supervoters (those who vote in every election) or special interests like unions.
It's true that some November voters aren't fully informed on local races, and some stop voting by the end of long ballots.
Even with those drawbacks, November local elections are better than this pathetic — and apathetic — status quo.

The Fourth of July Parade is a longstanding tradition dating back to the 1800s. While we are certain that this parade would occur even if there was no committee to organize it, we try to assure that specific things happen and that requires the involvement of quite a few people.
The banner across Colorado Ave. gets hung, a singer for the National Anthem is secured, the courthouse area is decorated, parade judges are obtained, ribbons for the winning entrants are purchased, flyovers are arranged, cars for dignitaries are borrowed, and volunteers act as safety marshals and banner brigade members. The Town of Telluride's Park & Recreation Department sees that the street is striped, cleaned, and cordoned off where appropriate and the Marshal's Department provides extra holiday personnel to move the crowd safely.
The Fourth of July Parade Committee would like to thank Alpine Bank, the Mountain Village Owners Association, the Town of Telluride, the Daily Planet, and the Telluride Watch for their support. The Telluride Historical Museum and the Visitors Center provide invaluable help by accepting registrations and fielding questions. Our announcers, Mike Hess, Tom Hess, Chip Lenihan, and Rob Balkind (new this year) are masters at thinking on their feet, interviewing entrants and letting everyone know what in the world these people are supposed to represent!
In addition, the following volunteers are recognized: Lael Fruen (and her friends); Carol Wright; Mary Woodland (and Rachel, Cindy, Sara, Laura , Candace, and Kate); Harley Brooke-Hitching; Kelly Jemison; Jane Badger; Don Wright; Cathe Dyer; Chip Dyer; Chase Dyer; Patrick Lenihan; Peter Cogen; Andy Helk; Steve Palamar; and Stephen Wald.
Of course, our parade entrants are what make the parade so wonderful. Whether locals or visitors, your participation is greatly appreciated and eagerly anticipated.
Thank you, Telluride, for your sense of community that makes the Fourth of July the unique day-long event we treasure.
– Telluride Fourth of July Parade Committee: Susan McKinney, Chip Lenihan, John Hopkins, Francine Cogen, Charles Cramer, Robert Balkind, Joyce Waldman, Roger Young, Richard Wodehouse, Chris Harrison, and Carly Shaw

What do you mean leaking from the seal? Can you post a pic?
Current oil tank, 275 gallon, located in unfinished basement with concrete floor. I live in Massachusetts.
Tank is leaking from the seal.
I plan on having it replaced.
What else should I do?
I have a copper line which is in the concrete floor.
Should I replace this...what do they replace it with copper/plastic??
Do they use the same filter??
What is the estimated cost??
What do you mean leaking from the seal? Can you post a pic?
Sorry from the seam
Don't bother replacing the copper line unless it's damaged or leaking.
The cost of replacing the tank often depends on how easy it is to get it in/out of the place. Last year when oil was pushing $5/gallon some folks would credit you something for the value of the oil, but I doubt that's the case this year- it's basically hazardous waste to be disposed of (for a fee, of course.)
When my neighbor was in the same situation last year he calculated the cost of a new tank vs. a natural gas retrofit burner and went with the conversion burner, the old tank went away nearly for free, and got 20-25 square feet of basement floor space back. (That's clearly not an option for everyone.) I'm not sure what the quote for installing a new tank was.
Five years ago I paid a local oil company to remove my old tank and install a 12 gauge 275 gallon tank for $1,000. I thought that was a steal.
I guess the tank I got for free was a deal
DIY Handyman (not 4 hire)
I have enough to do to my own house
Well I got the estimate 1600
pump and filter old tank oil, cut and remove tank, install new 225 slim line tank, new filter and fittings, new overhead copper line.
10 yrs ago when I lived in MA and had a leak (at the seam) my oil company sent in a crew that cleaned, fiberglassed (the whole bottom), painted the tank, and rechecked for any leaks. It was covered by the service plan. You may want to check into that unless you are looking for increased floor space or relocation of the tank. Maybe you should sign up for a service plan
A buried pipe here would be plastic coated this is particularly so in concrete as the concrete reacts with the copper. You could have the oil line pressure tested for leaks but as you have a quote for a new oil line anyway I'd go for that if I were you.
I have never seen oil heating in England. Does it exist?I fit and supply oil tanks in the UK among other things and that price even allowing for USD/GBP conversion is fair in my opinion.
You can see what I do on my site www.flamefix.co.uk
and we have an official registration body OFTEC their site is www.oftec.org
there is some free information such as this for oil storage for consumers
I'm not selling anything nor financially benefiting from the above links but if they need to be deleted feel free.
